Why does sound stop at times--can't be heard and yet....
From time to time (possibly when the PC has been on for a long time) I hear no sound--no Windows sounds, no player sounds (movie or music). And yet if I go to my Windows Volume mixer and test it, all works well; I can hear things. In such cases all i need to do is reboot and all is OK again. So I am not asking how to solve this problem per se, I am merely asking why is this so? How does it happen? And is there anything that one can do to solve this without rebooting?
For example now, I am in the process of doing a backup. it'll be hours before it finishes but meanwhile I can not play music, or watch videos, youtube or anything. Not for a pleasant experience as you might guess.
Thank you
